Firewire PCI-Express Card by Syba, 2B1A Model, TI Chipset, Low Profile SD-PEX30009

This is a Firewire expansion card designed for computers that lack built-in Firewire ports. It allows users to connect Firewire-compatible devices such as digital camcorders, audio interfaces, and external storage units. The card features two 1394b ports and one 1394a port, making it versatile for both older and newer Firewire devices. The inclusion of an internal header for 1394a provides additional flexibility for internal connections or custom builds.

The card uses a TI chipset and operates over a single-lane (x1) PCI-Express bus with a transfer rate of 2.5Gbps in full duplex mode. This ensures fast data transfer speeds suitable for high-resolution video and audio applications. It is compliant with PCI-Express Revision 1.0a and supports the IEEE P1394b-2002 standard, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Firewire devices and systems.

The low-profile design makes it ideal for use in small form factor PCs or systems with limited space inside the case. It comes with an extra regular bracket, which allows for installation in standard PCIe slots. The card is suitable for both desktop and some laptop systems that support PCIe expansion slots, though it may require a compatible case and power supply.

Installation typically involves inserting the card into an available PCIe slot and securing it with the provided bracket. No additional drivers are usually required as the card is compatible with standard operating systems. Users should ensure their system has a free PCIe slot and that the Firewire devices they plan to connect are compatible with the 1394a and 1394b standards.
